STEUBENvILLE, April 9.-On THURSDAY
afternoon Hon. John A. Kitheart, who had
been selected as umpire on the question oil
wages existing between the operators and
miners of Bustard's coal shaft, over which
a strike has been in progress for several
weeks, rendered his decision, holding thai
the scale price was being paid at the time
the strike went on. The price paid was
sixty-five cents per ton, and the miners
demanded seventy cents, claiming that
difficulty in mining at that shaft
seventy cents a just and equitable price
Mr.. Kitheart, in rendering his decision,
called attention to the point that ne q
only been selected to decide as to whether
or not the scale price was being paid, ana
recommended that at the next convention
of their State Association, which meets In
February, 1888, that a scale to be gauged
according to thickness of vein, condition,
&c, be adopted, which will tend to AVOID
such disputes as this one he was called
upon TO settle. The decision was quite
lengthy and covered the points at issue IN
a clear and impartial manner, and we have
heard of no dissatisfaction being expressed
by anyone.
